Subject: WHy four gospels not one? |
Bible Note: Colin, The composition was mine. It is a common subject especially for Catholics defending the Scripture/Apostolic Tradition/Church Magesterium position. I usually have the chapter and verse references handy, because although I know the passages, I do not always rememeber all the chapter and verse reference numbers, although some I do from repeated use.. Catholics tend to absorb Scripture by hearing them over and over, but usually without chapter and verse being cited verbally. For example the Scripture readings at a Mass are introduced with: "A reading from the Book of Ezekiel" or whatever book it it is without the chapter and verse being cited. It is very similar to the way Jesus and the New Testament writer's say "scripture has it.." or "Moses said". The navigator's memory device is interesting. I have seen and have some of their material and it is generally well designed for teaching. A Baptist freind of mine years ago was very involed in that Organization and used their basic lesson books when he was leading people to Christ after they had responded positively to his initial efforts. I sat in and participated in seome of those sessions with him. Emmaus |
